Well. Im heart broken and angry. For the 3rd time now my goonch suddenly died over night. All 3 were healthy. Eating shrimp and live. Swimming around. Water params perfect. Ph 7.2 temp 75. Tons of oxygen and flow. Fish were fine christmas day. Stayed at my gfs house overnight. Came home yesterday all 3 dead. Seriously what gives! Did everything i could for these guys to be happy
THat's tough, I'm sorry 
What's your ammonia and nitrates?
Goonch stress easily if those numbers aren't flawless (0,0,20 OR LESS) and tend to freak out. If they're being harassed by other fish, they freak out. If theres a sudden change in water conditions, they freak. If pretty much anything happens, they freak.
These freakouts often result in the fish swimming violently and sarcastically around the tank, resulting in the fish smashing into the glass, killing itself. One goonch freaking out can set off the others.
There's been a few documented instances of goonch self destruction like this, and there's no clear cause for the initial freakout.

my bagarius did swimming violently and sarcastically like you said about three days ago, but it's still live till now..but i still can't find if my baga are eating or not..because all of it's tankmates are gluttony fishes..any advices to make my bagarius eat??
hey rob..thank you so much for your advice, sadly i found her dead yesterday, because she's jumped out of the tank, and i dunno why, it's suddenly..it never happened before to her..do you have any suspicious theory why she jumped out from the tank???
oh, if you don't mind, maybe i can have your facebook or something else??so i can discuss with you anytime when you can..if, you don't mind..
thank you.

Feel free to add me.
As for the death, who knows? It's one of the bigger mysteries in the hobby. Bagarius are notorious for suddenly dying for no apparent reason. I wish I could offer more help.
